Bug#312718: I could reproduce the bullet copy-paste problem
Package: xterm
Version: 231-1
Steps to reproduce:
1. open a new xterm window (see bullet-step1.png)
2. type the command: perl -le 'print "A\x{b7}B"' (see bullet-step2.png)
3. press enter (see bullet-step3.png)
4. select the "A.B" in the window (this will implicitly copy it to clipboard, see bullet-step4.png)
5. paste the clipboard contents to the same xterm window, the string "A#B" is copied (see bullet-step5.png)
However, if lets continue just after step 4:
(1b-5b: the same as steps 1-5 at previous sequence)
5b. paste the clipboard contents to xclipboard (see copy-to-xclipboard.png)
6b. select the conents of the xclipboard, this will update the clipboard contents again (see copy-from-xclipboard.png)
7b. paste to the xterm window: the bullet version will be there: "A.B" (see bullet-pasted-ok.png)
